What the numbers say

Akamai Technologies is a internet services & infrastructure name in the information technology sector. Over the past year it returned +49.9%, against -20.2% over three months and -9.7% over one. It sits just 4.4% above its 200-day average — technically in an uptrend, but without much room. Annualized volatility of 58.1% is very high — position sizing matters more here than the ranking does.

Its worst peak-to-trough decline over the year was -33.3%, and it has traded a median $460M a day — the figure that decides whether a position can actually be entered and exited at posted prices. Its daily moves correlate 0.25 with the S&P 500 proxy, so it has been moving substantially on its own.
